Satisfied Customer!
Very happy with my Piotr the Bear knife block, and delivery was also very quick.

I’d been searching searching for a period of time for the right set of special knives when I came across their website. It was very simple to browse through and look at a large selection available. I found something which really caught my eye but I was slightly unsure about something so I emailed my question. Very quickly Chris responded with a positive and polite answer which helped me decide. There were a couple of other questions I wanted answered and Chris offered me his contact details and we spoke the same day. He was very courteous and polite and we reached the decision effortlessly to choose our set. All my correspondence with Chris and The Sharp Chef has been very easy. My knives arrived today just 3 days after ordered it ( including the weekend) and I’ve placed my beautifully made block and knife set in the pride of place in the kitchen. I’ve already used two of the knives preparing this evenings tea and they are magnificent.
Beautiful knife and so light
Beautiful knife and so light, cannot wait to start using it! Service from The Sharp Chef was excellent. Despite Royal Mail messing up the original delivery, The Sharp Chef got a replacement sent out to me immediately. Even with that delay it only took one week from ordering to receiving my knife. Top marks!
Very swift shipping
Very swift shipping, despite being mid pandemic and lockdown!
Excellent range of knives, beautiful BEAAAUUUTIFUL products and super high quality. The knife I got is perfectly balanced, perfect size for my small hands, looks feminine enough to be recognised in a male dominated industry and just plain gorgeous!

It's been 2 weeks and I am yet to receive my order - why ask for feedback if I haven't got it yet?

Great service and delivery time, will certainly be using Sharp Chef again in the future!
Prompt response, prompt delivery
I have dealt with Chris of the Sharp Chef over the years. I have to say, he is very helpful, prompt in his responses; he even helped me track down one of my favourite knives.
He has always responded quickly to emails and resolved each with wonderful knives arriving in the post within days.
Recommended.

Perfect place to buy Santoku
I researched knives extensively after deciding I wanted to gift one to my girlfriend. Found exactly what I wanted on this website - just the right amount of helpful information. Was assuring to know that I wouldn't have to deal with importing a knife from Japan. Super fast shipping. Thanks!
